Leicester set sights on top two after running riot at Sale to seal Prem playoff place

Sale 33-47 Leicester

Tigers run in seven tries in high-scoring encounter

This emphatic bonus-point win was another forcible reminder that Leicester are on the march again, with the Tigers consummately professional, ruthlessly efficient and clinical with the chances that came their way.

Whether or not they can go on to reach the Prem Rugby final and lift the trophy on 20 June remains to be seen, but that they are heading in the right direction under Geoff Parling’s guidance is undeniable.
